I have a son who just got an athletic scholarship to go to school, but we had all this money that we saved for him to use to go to school. We had to figure out what to do with it, and I went to Laidlaw & Company to find out if they could help me figure out what to do with it. They basically made it simple for me to make sure that I could reinvest the money, and I will have a nest egg for his graduate degree. I know that he wants to be a therapist, and this will pay for it straight up.

There are a lot of things that we could have done to make sure that we would be able to have enough money for this, thankfully James Ahern was there to guide us. That way I made sure that I would be able to have enough money to just forward it to him to just pay for school. This is something that is very easy to manage, and it is something that I am ready for because we are on a track that is going to have him ready in four years to go to just about any school he wants to go to.

I like the fact that I was able to work with these people because they have shown me that anything is possible. I love the fact that this works because I have been able to do it without any problem, and I also like the fact that it works better than most other plans. There are people who are trying to do this the hard way, but I am just investing at Laidlaw. They are by far the best people at this, and I am so glad we picked them. They will have my son ready for grad school soon.

The term “athleisure” was recently added to the dictionary much like any well used slang term in the American dialect. Fabletics epitomizes the athleisure look. Kate Hudson’s collection of athletic wear is mixed with a beautiful selection of leisure apparel that doubles as cover-ups for form fitting exercise pieces.

The look is often worn by the worker employed in a relaxed environment or by others on casual Fridays. With the expansion of locations where athleisure wear could be worn the market has grown by over 16% since last year. Huffington Post is joined by brand names that are now capitalizing on the growing trend like the Gap, H&M and LULU.

Fabletics has grown by leaps and bounds taking active wear to new levels. In a short three period, the brand has amassed one million subscribers to its VIP membership. The subscription entitles the member to regular shipments of merchandise matching their preferences. Fabletics is seals the deal with its subscribers by producing exciting new looks that are well designed and priced to attract.

Fabletics has primarily focused on building its brand trough internet sales. Realizing that by doing so, they were capturing only 50% of the possible market share, Fabletics decided to add to their e-commerce sales. Having only nine stores nationwide they’re increasing their brick and mortar locations by opening up twelve new stores this year.

Appealing to the average consumer, Fabletics uses attractive prints on breathable stretch fabrics that are offered in mix and match pairings. Buy any one of a group of exciting cropped tops to be worn with cropped pants or full length pull-on leggings/pants. Tops fit loosely or snugly depending on the design. With either look, the fit is comfortable. There’s always plenty give in each fit from the extra small up to the extra large sizes.

Because Fabletics has paid great attention to the design and fit of its separates, the customer is happily buying. Add to that the reasonable pricing and more and more consumers are being attracted to the product on Facebook, which is why sales are so strong. Now that the brand is gaining recognition, when the twelve new stores open this year, consumers won’t hesitate to spend their money at the retail location as well as online.

Fabletics, the newest entry into the athleisure category is poised to lead the pack. Their design and pricing has placed them in a leadership role along with their choice of using TV advertising for marketing and ecommerce for distribution. All the combined choices have put a timely product at the forefront ready for an eager consumer to purchase.

Selfies are what we do these days, and it seems like everyone is snapping away. Even blogger Emily McClure was taking photos but mainly of her hair, and she took them while washing with WEN by Chaz. She wanted to see if this no lather shampoo experience could create more beautiful hair on her fine, thin crowning glory. She reported her findings here at Bustle.

WEN by Chaz is the true original, the brand that is pure and botanically-based, the one that gets rid of the harsh detergents found in other shampoos and conditioners. Chaz Dean should know, because he’s been a well-respected celebrity stylist for a number of years now. His unique cleansing conditioners are a one-bottle dynamo that wash, condition, de-tangle and nourish every strand from root to end. His loyal star clientele are obsessed with WEN by Chaz and wouldn’t have it any other way.

The no lather shampoo concept has been copied by competitors, but they couldn’t match Chaz Dean’s soothing and effective formulas. WEN by Chaz delivers shine, body and movement. Wen is Sephora available. It is also available online, visit the Amazon website or Guthy-Renker.com

Emily sampled WEN for seven days and discovered how to achieve the best results with this no lather shampoo. She had this advice for readers:

1. Follow directions on the bottle. Even Emily should have used the proper amount for her medium length hair. Lots of product is key, because Wen is not like store bought shampoos. Massage thoroughly into the hair and scalp.

2. Wash every morning with WEN in the shower. This daily routine creates the biggest hair and allows your hair to adapt to this new cleansing experience.

3. Always follow your wash with a blow-drying and styling session. Make the effort to do your hair, and you will see volume and shine come alive.

Membership retail is a very quickly growing industry. Adam Goldenberg saw this trend all the way back in 2010 when he founded his latest successful business venture, JustFab. JustFab is a VIP membership company that revolves around fashion and clothing.

Customers that are members have access to the latest fashion trends when it comes to both clothing and fashion accessories on Crosscut.vc. Customers that are members pay a membership fee and then have access to huge savings on clothing. Some of the clothing is up o 0 off. This can mean huge savings to someone who shops a lot and uses the service often. In fact, the membership fee can even pay for itself through the savings in a lot of cases.

This is a business model that the Los Angeles CEO phenom has brought to the fashion world. He has partnered with many of the most popular brands online. Adam Goldenberg is especially known to have great partnerships with huge e-commerce based clothing companies like Fabletics, the Kate Hudson owned daily athletic wear company.

The first thing that Goldenberg understands about running a successful company is the value of metrics. One of the best aspects of Goldenberg’s style when it comes to metrics when uses them is how quickly he reacts to them. He is not afraid to trust information and numbers that he is given in order to make a quick decision and help his company increase growth or prevent losses.

Goldenberg first burst on the scene in the LA business community with Gamer’s Alliance. This company was a network for gamers. It was way ahead of its time in the late 1990s. He ran the company until 1999 until he sold it off. He then started an internet branding company that he ran until 2010. He has learned from his past successes and mistakes with his previous companies to make JustFab a hit.

Seattle Genetics is on a mission. The goal: to deliver chemotherapy only to damaged cells in cancer patients while sparing healthy cells and avoiding all of the unpleasant side effects of traditional cancer treatments. This top biopharmaceutical company is already helping cancer patients by way of Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs), including their own ADCETRIS® (brentuximab vedotin). Headed by President, CEO and Chairman of the Board Clay Seigall, PH.D., Seattle Genetics pushes forward with research and drug trials involving this favorable approach to cancer treatment.

Seattle Genetics (SGEN) Clay B. Siegall on Q2 2016 Results – Earnings Call Transcript
ADCs target specific proteins found on cancerous cells in the body. They are then absorbed by those cells and release the chemotherapy contained within, destroying only those cells. By saving healthy cells in the body, ADCs make treatment and recovery more bearable for the patient. This alternative to surgery, radiation, hormone treatments and traditional chemotherapy is already improving quality of life for many people.
Seattle Genetics takes pride in their work and for Dr. Seigall, it is personal. He has experienced first-hand the loss of a loved one to brain cancer when his father passed away during his second year of grad school. His curiosity at his father’s appointments landed him at George Washington University where he earned his PH.D. in genetics. This was after earning a B.S. in Zoology at the University of Maryland, working with the Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceutical Research Institute from 1991 to 1997 and the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health from 1988 to 1991. He serves on the Board of Directors of Alder BioPharmaceuticals and Mirna Therapeutics, two private biotechnology companies, and UltraGenyx, a biopharmaceutical company. He is an author on more than 70 publications and holds 15 patents.
While ADCs are targeting certain proteins located on the outside of cells, future studies will include innovative biopharmaceuticals that have the ability to target the inside of cells and the immune system. Seattle Genetics has grown considerably since their start in 1998. Despite rapid growth, the company maintains an atmosphere of integrity and scientific excellence and clearly displays an unwavering passion for helping patients.

I know that a lot of people do not want to invest in anything complicated because they think that they do not have the expertise to do it. I would have never been able to do this for myself, but I have a nice savings account that I brought over to Laidlaw & Company for help. I saw on their website that they are willing to do some interesting things for investors, and I got hooked up with a broker after I talked to Matthew Eitner and James Ahern first. The suggestion that I got was to go with commodities, and then I got into a pretty big precious metals market.

The precious metals that I invest in are just gold and silver because they have these huge markets I can work in. I have been pretty happy with the fact that I have been using gold and silver to invest because I did some research and learn that they have been rising since the beginning of time. I got a broker at Laidlaw & Company to show me where I should be investing in gold, and I was also shown how I could invest in silver even though it is not as popular.

I was able to place all my money in a couple spots where I know that it will grow, and I am just waiting to sell if I need any extra cash. Otherwise, I am going to leave the money in there until I retire. I am so ready to retire now that I just check back in with my broker every now and then because I know that she has all the reports for my accounts. I am trying to make my savings really powerful, and I finally did it with the Laidlaw & Company team.

Malini Saba is a philanthropist who cares about investment in such sectors like the technology in the United States of America, oil and gas in China and real estate in Australia and India. She has invested in firms like Sycamore Networks (NASDAQ:SCMR), PayPal which was acquired by eBay for $1.5 billion and Netscreen Technologies that was acquired by Juniper Networks for 44 billion. Today, Malini is the founder and the chairperson of the Stree. The Stree is a global investment in women and a nonprofit making organization that is aimed at changing the perception of the low-income and vulnerable women and children and their roles in the society.
The organization was inaugurated by the former US president Bill Clinton and Jordan’s Queen Noor to provide a means to women to access healthcare, legal empowerment and a platform for grassroots movements to get involved in public policy in Africa, Central America, India and Eastern Europe. Through the organization, in 2005, Malini donated $ 1million to start the world’s first Heart Research Center At El Camino Hospital, Mountain View for Southern Asians and made a pledge in 2004 of $10 million to help the victims of the Tsunami in Siri Lanka and India.
Saba’s investment ideas come from her entrepreneurial enthusiasm and inspiration from people like Steve Jobs, reading historical and spiritual books. This has helped Malini find the Saban firm that retains stakes in various technology companies in the US, oil and gas in China, and real estate in Australia and India. Saba starts her work day at 5 am when she handle conference calls with Asia, takes her daughter to school, attends meetings in the U.S office and later picks up her daughter from school at 3 pm.
Moreover, Saba turns ideas into a business by analyzing the market trends and gaps such as the real estate market in India, the commodity market growth of 2015. She speculates growth that she feels excited about, given her firm’s close to 5000 hectares of palm oil and large tracks of rice farms.
In my opinion, Saba is a well-focused person who knows what she wants and takes risks. Never giving up, embracing and learning from failure, believing in herself, and integrity, Malini Saba is poised for success in her business ventures.

According to PR Newswire, Goettl Air Conditioning continues to flourish under the new ownership of ken Goodrich, company which was bought by the successful businessman in 2012.

Before Goodrich’s arrival, Goettl Good Guys Air Conditioning Repairmen had gone through a radical growth, but then the company stagnated. When Goodrich bough the company, he created a new managed team and retrained every current employee. He also hired new staff members and mangers. For Goodrich, a man who had managed and sold more than 20 HVAC companies, Goettl Good Guys needed something different. It was not about introducing new marketing tactics or prices, conventional problems which plague most stagnated businesses. It was about vision and excitement. The new owner quickly improved the company’s mission.

Goodrich went back and revised more than 300 installations. Goodrich had to spent more than $200,000, but the quality control inspections were worth it. Currently, all technicians are required to take pictures of their installations.Goodrich personally examines every single installation before it is considered complete. According to Andy Ridgefield, the operations manager, the new process has perfected the moral of the technicians. The quality of the company’s installations are almost perfect. Ridgefield admits too that he has not meet a business man as knowledgeable and motivating than Goettl in his 25 of experience in the HVAC industry.

Dan Burke, the chief executive officer, admits that one of the biggest struggles was dealing with the radical changes that were occurring in departments such as accounting, information technology, human resources, and treasury. The rapid changes meant a big challenge, especially since new revised systems and processes had to be implemented as well. New hardware and software also had to be installed. But to Burke, such changes would have not been possible if not for the work ethic of his employees and trade partners. Burk sees that the company is making progress and that it is not longer in stagnation.

Goodrich has bought and sold many HVAC companies, but Goettl Air Conditioning is special to him. When he was a child, he once helped his father fix a Goettl heating pump, experience which influenced his professional life. Goodrich thinks that he is surrounded by people of high caliber in the company and that the business currently has a strong foundation. Currently, Goettl Air Conditioning has a revenue of more than $20 million.

Goettl Air Conditioning was founded in 1939 by Gust and Adam Goettl. Goettl is currently one of the most prominent names in the HVAC industry. Goettl provides excellent quality products and services in areas such as air conditioning, heating, indoor air quality, and energy efficiency.
